NEW UPDATES:

  • Parents, please make sure your child wears their glasses and hearing aids this week while we have our annual vision and hearing exam that is scheduled on Sept. 15-18..

ARCHIVE:

  • If your student has medication, please come drop it off at the clinic. It cannot be sent with the student to school for safety reasons.

  • There have been changes to the medication protocol this year. In the past, we were allowed to take over-the-counter (OTC) medications for a period of 2 weeks with just the parent's signature. Health Services is now requiring a doctor's signature for every medication submitted to the clinic, including OTCs. Please email nurse at celigio1@kleinisd.net if you need the required form.
